Dual Source Operation (DSO) means that most of all the electronic equipment today used in homes and industries can be operated directly with DC 230 volts HVDC  (High Voltage Direct Current)  supply instead of 230 volts normal AC traditional supply without any hardware changes[1][2][3].Inverters are not necessary. The devices/equipment operated by the normal AC or DC supply (HVDC power feed) are Television, personal computer, fluorescent lamp with electronic ballast, CFL lights, led lights, mobile chargers, digital set top boxes, DVD players, electronic table and ceiling fans, motor with VFC control[1][2][3]. List may go up.

The concept is based on the basic principle of current flow through the diodes used in the bridge rectifier[4] present in the second stage of AC to DC Switched Mode Power supply (SMPS)[5] provided in most of the today electronic devices/equipment.

Technical Reason for Dual Source Operation[4][5]

[edit]

230V DC supply is given as an input instead of 230V AC, the Electro Magmatic Interference (EMI) filter in the first stage by-passes the input 230V DC and the output of the bridge rectifier is also HVDC near to 230V since drop in two diodes is1.2 volts only[4]. This HVDC is the prime power source for the SMPS circuit[5]. Therefore AC to DC SMPS is a DC to DC SMPS. The output DC voltages of the SMPS are constant for wide variation of input AC voltage and load current[5]. This is same for the variation of input DC voltage.

Also, if the input DC voltage polarity reversed, the HVDC polarity of the bridge rectifier output not changed. Hence the bridge rectifier is called as reverse voltage protection circuit..[5]

Application and advantages

[edit]

The Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) feeds power from batteries[6] to the loads when the main supply failure. The best UPS system[6] has:

  • Without interruption when feeding power to the loads during input power failure or low and higher input voltage situations.
  • Less energy loss.
  • Smaller in size.
  • Reduced fabrication and installation cost.
  • Good reliability and stability.
  • Maintenance free.
  • Easy to replace defective components with less effort and cost.
  • Good quality (no harmonics).

Based on the basic principle operation of diodes[5], the HVDC power feed UPS system shares power to the electron devices (Load) from the grid formed with two sources through two diodes 1 and 2. Sources are

  • Normal AC Supply rectified to DC
  • HVDC Supply.

HVDC source will feed power to the load through the diode 2.[4] when normal AC failure. If HVDC from solar panels is connected to the grid through another diode 3 as a third source , solar energy can be utilized effectively[2][3]

Better efficiency and the requirements for UPS are achieved due to fewer power conversion stages (Sans Inverter) which incurred less energy loss than with an AC power feed.[7][8][1] International standardization of HVDC power feed technology is going on.[7][8][1]
